GTA IV Trophy Walkthrough / Guide by EG6

Off The Boat :
You have completed the first mission.

This trophy is story related and unmissable.

One Hundred And Eighty :
You Scored 180 With 3 Darts.

This trophy is unlocked by playing darts in a bar. This activity can be started one you invite a friend who wants to help you out (those who dont will not have the option to play darts when you call them) and start a game of darts once you arrive at the bar. Simply approach the dartboard and press L1. In short, the objective of this trophy is to score 180 points with three darts. This means you need to hit a treble 20, 3 times in a row, in one single turn. The trebly 20 is the small red section of the black '20' in the top middle section of the dartboard between the thick end and the thin end. Use R2 to steady your aim before throwing.

You will be required to play darts, and win, against those of your friends who like to play. For a separate tophy ("Key To Liberty City"). Play some games to get a little practive if you need to get the hang of it. The game is 301 so it makes for short games. For anyone new to darts, a crash course is that you need to get from 301 to 0 in the least amount of throws possible. You can't go over, you have to land on 0/ The outer circle around the board doubles the score of the number the dart lands on. the centre ring triples the score. Finally, you can only get to zero, or "checkout" as its known in darts with a double.

Pool Shark :
You beat a friend at pool.

As the trophy states, you simply need to beat a friend at pool. The game provides in-game step by step instructions on how to actually play and use the buttons to control your shots. You only need to win 1 game to unlock this trophy. It is quite easy to beat anyone, although your girlfriend Michelle is particularly bad at pool.

Anyone new to pool won't need to learn too much. There are 15 balls. 14 coloured balls, 7 striped balls and 7 solid coloured ones. If your opponent pots a stripe, you are then by default solids, and vice versa. If you happen to pot a ball first, you get to choose and then force your opponent to be on the opposite set of colours, When all 7 colours are potted, the 8 ball is the final ball. If the 8 ball is potted before that players colours have been potted, they lose. Also, if you hit an opponents ball or pot one of their balls, this is a foul and your opponent can place the cue ball anywhere they want for their next turn.

King of QUB3D :
You beat the high score in QUB3D.

QUB3D is an arcade game which you can play by interacting with the arcade machines in bars and clubs across Liberty City. If your looking for a QUB3D arcade, there's a machine in the bar on the outskirts of Broker where you play pool with Little Jacob early on in the story mode, or there's one in Triangles strip club in Alderney.

The game play is similar to Tetris. Blocks descend from the top in different colours. Your aim is to match 4 colours in any pattern to make them disappear. There is a tutorial on the arcade which goes into a little more depth if you are still at a loss but a few games and a tutorial will put you right. Once you top 10,950 the trophy will unlock.

Finish HIm :
You completed 10 melee counters in 4 minutes.

A melee counter is an unarmed attack which counters your assailants attack. To do this, start a fist fight with a stranger and lock onto them. Wait for your opponent to take a swing at you and dodge it by quickly pressing X and holding it til your opponents arm is still outstretched, then tap O to counter their attack. There is a steady supply of strangers at the Heli Tours base in South East Algonquin. It is recommended that you start fights with the fat people, as they are severely slower than slimmer attackers and so much easier to counter. Also, there is a hotdog vendor near the entrance to the queue for the heli tours should you start to fall low on health. If you die, you still carry over however many counters you did leading up to it within 4 minutes of it happening so dont worry too much about it if you get killed.

Genetically Superior :
You came first in 20 singleplayer street races.

One of the 20 street races you need to win is actually a story mission (No. 1). From then on, you can phone Brucie to ask about Races taking place across Liberty City. You will need to win 9 including No. 1 for the 100% game completion requirement, 3 in Bohan, 3 in Algonquin, and 3 in Alderney. Win another 11 after this to get the trophy. When phoning Brucie for a race, he may occasionally tell you there is nothing going on. In which case, call him a little later or try moving to a different island as it is random times and places in which Brucie has a race lined up. When he does, a starting point will show up on your map. Grab a fast car and head over there. Place first 20 times and the trophy is yours.

Wheelie Rider :
You completed a 500 foot wheelie on a motorbike.

Grab any sports bike or a Faggio and head to Francis Airport. You will want to head to the far end of any long stretch of runway and then bomb it down to the other side. Gently hold back on the R3 button to lift the nose of the bike and perform a wheelie. Hold this position until the trophy pops. If you use a Faggio, you can get away with leaning back more, thus making the long distance wheelie much easier to complete.

Gobble Gobble :
You got a turkey in 10-pin bowling.

This trophy requires you to score a turkey in ten pin bowling. You will need to go bowling with your friends for another trophy ("Key To Liberty City") so the chances to bowl are plenty. A turkey is 3 strikes in a row, which means knocking down all 15 pins in 1 throw, 3 times in succession. Many people claim to have a winning formula, but the truth is, there isnt one defined method which works for all, as it's all in the rhythm and timing. There is however, general advice which will help improve your chances of a strike but not guarantee one. Take 2 steps to the left of your starting position, then hold R3 down for 1-2 seconds, and then push R3 up to throw your ball. If done right, the ball should roll dead on the line going down the lane leading just to the left of the foremost pin. More often than not, you should get a strike.

Driving Mr.Bellic :
You unlocked the special ability of Roman's taxi.

Throughout the course of the game, you will have the opportunity to make up to 5 friends. Each friend has certain activities that they favor over others, and through doing social activities with them, they will begin to like you. Once they like you enough, they will offer their unique services to you. To access their special abilities, press up on the d-pad --> X to open the cell phone menu, X to open the phone book, scroll down to your friend's name, press X, scroll to their special ability, and press X again to ask them for it. If they are available to help you, they will tell you, though sometimes they may be busy, as they have their own lives as well.

Now, there is no rhyme or reason to when your friend will offer their services. Once you have reached the necessary "Like" level, sometime in the future, your friend will give you a call to offer their ability to you, so once you have the correct stats, just be patient.

This particular trophy is unlocked through befriending Roman. He is awake 24 hours a day, and when you have reached a 60% "Like" level from Roman, and will go away if you drop below 15%. See "Liberty City (5)" for advice on what activities will help raise his "Like" level the best.

You can check your progress:
Start--> Stats--> General--> Roman Like

Roman's special ability is that you can call him up and he will send a taxi to pick you up and take you anywhere, free of charge.

Rolled Over :
You managed 5 car rolls in a row from one crash.

There are a number of ways to achieve this trophy, but all involve using a fast car. Get hold of a quick car like a Turismo and head for Francis Airport. When you get there, head for the far end of any section of main runway and turn the car around. All you need to do is slam on the gas and hit top speed up the runway while coming onto the grass verge that runs alongside the runway. If you hit any of the yellow distance boards with two wheels, the car should catapult up into the air in a spin.

Also, a nice tip for this trophy is to keep the R2 button held down at all times. If you roll the car 3 times, but keep on the gas without a pause, and hit another ramp and roll twice, the trophy will unlock.

Walk Free :
You successfully lost a 4 star wanted level.

This isn't as bad as it sounds if you plan ahead. Make sure you have Roman's Taxi ability unlocked and call a cab from your phone. While you wait for it to arrive, bring up your map and set a waypoint for another island. Once your taxi shows up, shoot some people to get a 1 star wanted level. When the cops show, gun them down for a 2-3 star wanted level. Jump into your taxi and have it go to your waypoint. Instead of skipping, start shooting at the chasing police from the back seat of the taxi. As soon as you have 4 stars, skip the journey by pressing X and you will immediately arrive at the other side of the map, free of police, and your trophy will unlock. Note that using a standard yellow taxi wont work as the driver will bail out as soon as you get a wanted level.

Courier Service :
You completed all 10 package delivery jobs.

This trophy requires you to complete 10 delivery missions for Little Jacob. After completing 'Concrete Jungle', a story mode mission, LJ will call you to offer you a sideline delivering some 'packages' for him. From this point, your mobile will have 'Jobs' in the menu when calling Little Jacob, allowing you the freedom to instigate them in your own time. If LJ has any jobs available when you call him, a blue blip will appear on your map marking the starting point of the mission. Deliveries do not have specific mission names and also appear in a different order each time. Complete all 10 deliveries to unlock this trophy.

Retail Therapy :
You unlocked the special ability of buying guns from Little Jacob.

Unlocked similarly to "Driving Mr. Bellic" except for with Little Jacob.

This ability allows you to purchase guns and have them delivered through your cellphone, same as you can order cabs from Roman, and will be unlocked after you achieve a 75% "Like" level, and will go away if you drop below 40%. Jacob is awake from 1pm to 4am. See "Liberty City (5)" for advice on what activities will help raise his "Like" level the best.

You can check your progress:
Start--> Stats--> General--> Jacob Like

*Note : This can be done after completing story mode.

Chain Reaction :
You exploded 10 vehicles in 10 seconds.

For this trophy, head to the industrial sector in Alderney armed with a rocket launcher and a few rockets. There is a car park just by a factory in the very top left of the bottom section of the map which keeps at least 10 cars in it during the day. Head over there and start to pool all the cars in the car park together. Its quite desolate so cops shouldnt be a problem. Once you have at least 10 cars all squashed together, get to higher ground on one of the raised walkways surrounding the car park and let fly with your rockets.

One Man Army :
You survived a 6 star wanted level for a full 5 minutes.

If you unlocked all the islands before this trophy, then things are now a little more difficult. Get your hands on a carbine rifle, plenty of ammo, and some armour. Now head to your safehouse in Middle Park, Algonquin, the one in the North East just by the bridge leading to Broker. Cause trouble to get a 1 star wanted level. Shoot the cops that turn up til your wanted level goes up to five. Now back into the safehouse lobby and shoot police as they come through the entrance doors til you get a six star level. Now just back up to the yellow arrow to enter the lift and into your safehouse. Now all you need to do is stay here for 5 minutes **NB stay away from the balcony, cops can shoot at you here so stay indoors**. Once the trophy pops, go to bed and save to lose the wanted level.

Lowest Point :
You completed the mission "Roman's Sorrow"

Complete the story mission "Roman's Sorrow."

Order Fulfilled :
You completed all 10 Exotic Export orders.

These are Brucie's side missions and are available via email. Visit any tw@ cafe and check for any emails from Brucie that mention a vehicle he wants you to jack. By responding to his emails positively, you are then given a location to travel to which marks your chosen vehicle. Jack the vehicle and drive it back to Brucie's lockup in the Docks. Once you complete a mission, check your emails again for your next order. Complete all 10 orders to unlock this trophy.

Manhunt :
You completed the most wanted side mission.

After completing the story mission 'Portrait Of A Killer', you will have the ability to access police computers when parked up in a police car by tapping L1. From here, you can access the Most Wanted. If you are short on police cars, dial 911 on your cellphone and ask for the police. Soon after, a squad car will turn up close by and the officer will get out to look around, leaving the door wide open for you to steal it. Expect a light 1 star chase, but nothing serious. Once you've evaded the police attention, access the computer and select 'Most Wanted'. There are 10 targets on each island, making 30 in all, to deal with. Take them all out and the trophy will unlock.

Cleaned The Mean Streets :
You caught 20 criminals through the police computer.

After completing the story mission 'Portrait Of A Killer', you will have the ability to access police computers when parked up in a police car by tapping L1. From here, you can access 'View Current Crimes'. You are then set a target to eliminate and a time limit to reach them by. You must kill 20 criminals in total. Once you eliminate a target, you must re-enter the police computer to get your next target.

To easily replace a damaged cop car on the verge of ruin, select a new target and get to them asap, thus stopping the timer. You can then go on a carnage spree to attract more police. Quickly shoot them and then your target which will reset your wanted level to 0, leaving you with a shiny new patrol car to comandeer courtesy of the police you just shot

Fed The Fish :
You completed the mission "Uncle Vlad".

Complete the story mission "Uncle Vlad".

It'll Cost Ya :
You made a taxi trip from one island to another without skipping.

A very easy trophy, simply enter a taxi as a passenger by holding down triangle when you approach it and take it to another island without skipping. To save time, try to get a taxi near a bridge that goes over to another part of the city and set a marker for just over the other side. As long as you dont skip the journey, the trophy will pop.

Sightseer :

You have taken all variations of the helicopter tours of Liberty City.

Head down to the Heli Tours in Algonquin and take all 5 tours of Liberty City. To take a tour, approach a helicopter and hold down triangle . There are 5 choppers in total each taking you on a different tour so you need to take one tour in each. You can skip the tour if you want and it will count towards the trophy. Bear in mind that you may find that not all choppers may be available as they do actually take the citizens of LC on tours too, so wait for it to return.

Warm Coffee :
You were invited to your girlfriend's house.

his trophy can be obtained by dating any of the games girlfriends long enough by taking them to places they like in cars they prefer, but for ease of reference, go with Michelle. Michelle is available to date after the story mission 'Three's A Crowd'. She will call you at random intervals between missions to ask if you want to go on a date. Its best to accept, then call back and cancel if your going for "Liberty City Minute". This keeps her keen. When you're ready for this trophy, call Michelle to take her on a date. Wear Russian clothes (shop in Broker where you had to buy clothes from during 'Three's A Crowd') and use one of Roman's Taxi's, although a Merit, Voodoo, Banshee or Blista will also suit her. Darts and Pool are near her apartment and also happen to be her favourite activities so do either one of these. After a few successful dates, Michelle will invite you in for a 'coffee' when you take her back home. Accept and the trophy is yours.

That's How We Roll :
You unlocked the special ability of Brucie's helicopter ride.

This ability allows you order a helicopter through your cellphone, same as you can order cabs from Roman , and will be unlocked after you achieve a 75% "Like" level, and will go away if you drop below 40%. Brucie is awake from 7am to 1am. See "Liberty City (5)" for advice on what activities will help raise his "Like" level the best.

You can check your progress:
Start--> Stats--> General--> Brucie Like

* Note - Can be done after completing story mode*

Half Million :
You have amassed fortune of $500,000.

If you fully complete the story mode, this trophy will be unlocked by the end, as there is at the very least $617,430 to be made on story missions alone. Couple this with the fact that you get paid for just about any extra side missions and you should see this trophy pop somewhere near the end of Chapter 3.

Impossible Trinity :
You completed the mission "Museum Piece"

Complete the story mission "Museum Piece".

Full Exploration :
You unlocked all the islands.

This trophy is story related and unmissable.

You Got The Message :
You delivered all 30 cars ordered through text message.

This trophy requires you to steal 30 cars for an associate of Brucie known as 'Stevie'. After you have opened up the Alderney safehouse and completed the story missions 'No. 1' and 'Smackdown', Stevie will text you with details of a car or bike he wants you to steal for him. You then need to locate the vehicle and bring it back to Stevie's garage in Bohan. Once you complete a delivery, Stevie will wait 6 in game hours before following up with another text for the next one. You can always jog round to your Bohan safehouse to save your game to skip forward 6 hours and get it straight away if you wish.

Dare Devil :
You completed all the unique stunt jumps.

There are 50 unique stunt jumps to complete in GTA IV. They are located all over Liberty City and you must complete each one. When you attempt a unique stunt jump, time will slow down and the camera will watch an action shot of your jump, but it will NOT be complete unless a message pops up on screen telling you so. You can keep a check on this by going to the Start Menu and selecting Stats-->Vehicles-->Unique stunt jumps completed.

The majority of jumps can be completed in most cars, but a good few require something with a bit of a kick. I would recommend an NRG900 for every jump, as bikes can be controlled in the air to aid landing (as a requirement for a completed jump is to land on all wheels, if a car starts to spin in mid-air, you can't correct it. With bikes, you can by tilting the R3 button up and down to tilt the nose of the bike back and forwards). These bikes are hard to chance upon, but there is a handy little reserve of them. There's a motorbike shop in Alderney not far from your safe house. Just north and then east is a police station. Come past this and onto the next road which has a huge multi-story car park on it, the bike shop is opposite this car park. Simply smash the window in and hop on. A 1 star chase will ensue, but is easy to lose on an NRG900.

Assasin's Greed :
You completed all 9 assasin missions.

You will unlock the assassin missions after completing the 'Truck Hustle' story mission. Phil Bell will call you to offer you work as a 'Fixer' and a sniper sight target icon will appear on your map showing the location of a payphone in Alderney which rings constantly until you answer it to start a mission. There are 9 in total and appear in a random order. The objective is simple, kill all 9 targets. On the demise of your final victim, the trophy will unlock.

Endangered Species :
You collected every hidden package in the game.

his trophy requires that you collect (ie shoot) every hidden package (ie pigeon) in the game. There are 200 pigeons throughout Liberty City at fixed locations, some are in quite open and accessible area's, some are a little less obvious and might only be got at with the sniper rifle with the scope zoomed in.

url=http://www.gamesradar.com/gta-iv-complete-pigeon-guide/]Pigeon Locations[/url]

Under The Radar :
You flew under all the main bridges in the game.

Grab a chopper from the heli tours pad in Algonquin and carefully fly underneath all of the main bridges that pass over water in the game. Below is a map showing which bridges these are. You will see an on screen prompt letting you know when a bridge has been passed under successfully so if you don't see one, you need to do it again. Take extreme care going under the low bridge going from Bohan to Algonquin as there is very little margin for error. Your best bet is to approach the bridge then bring the chopper down to just above the water and steady it. Once you are practically stationary, very slowly tilt the R3 button forwards to slowly crawl under the bridge.

Dial B For Bomb :
You unlocked the special ability of Packie's car bomb placement.

This ability allows you order car bombs through your cellphone, same as you can order cabs from Roman, and will be unlocked after you achieve a 75% "Like" level, and will go away if you drop below 30%. Packie is awake from 3pm to 6am. See "Liberty City (5)" for advice on what activities will help raise his "Like" level the best.

You can check your progress:
Start--> Stats--> General--> Packie Like
*Note - Can be done after completing story mode*

Gracefully Taken :
You completed the mission "I'll Take Her".

Complete the story mission "I'll Take Her".

Liberty City (5) :
Your friends all like you above 90%.

There are certain story missions which raise your friends likeness percentage, but not enough to push you over the 90% mark. To achieve the remaining percentage increase, you must complete activities with them as a friend. They will either initiate proceedings by calling you to ask if you want to go and do something, or you can instigate an activity by calling them to do something of your choice. Some general things to remember is that friends are happy to commit to an activity if you call them only during certain hours of the day, and you can actually suffer a percentage drop by calling them outside of their preferred hours. Also, it is a good idea to accept all incoming invites to activities, be you busy or pressed for time, and call them back to cancel. This will ensure you dont take a knock on the percentage.

Each friends favourite activities are listed as activities on your cell phone when you are about to call them. As long as you call them when they are not asleep, you should find that your friends are more than happy to join you for a spot of chill. Times to call friends are as follows :

Roman : 24 hours a day
Packie : 3pm til 6am
Brucie : 7am til 1am
Little Jacob : 1pm til 4am
Dwayne : 11am til 3am

Be careful not to ring them outside of these hours, as your percentage will suffer slightly.

**NOTE** The following spoiler should only be read AFTER the story mode is complete. It covers a scenario regarding Dwayne that has had many people asking questions.

Although the trophy title states (5), the requirements only apply to those friends that are still alive. If you happen to kill Dwayne during your story playthrough, you do not need to restart. You then simply have to raise your remaining friends percentages above their respective limits to obtain the trophy. If you chose to kill Playboy X instead, then you will need to raise Dwayne's likeness level to over 90%. Anyone who spared Dwayne but are having trouble rousing him should check their email. Respond positively to his email and the phone should soon begin ringing.

You can check on the progress of each friends likeness percentage bringing up the Start Menu and going to Stats --> General and viewing each respective friends percentage.

No More Strangers :
You've met all the random characters.

You need to look for the following people, you only need to encounter them for the trophy:
Badman
Brian
Mel
Ilyena Faustin
Cherise
Jeff
Clarence
Marnie
Pathos
Hossan
Sara
Eddie Low
Ivan
Gracie

As stated, you only need to encounter them. So that means attempting their 1st (or only) mission or seeing them in the context of the storyline.

Several of the characters will provide you with more than one mission. All is explained in detail in the Item & Location sticky. In the description it states if the character will only appear at certain times of the day. If nothing is noted, the character can appear anytime. The characters may also not always be in their locations. If the character you are looking for is not where the map states they should be, that is normal. Simply continue on about your business, and try back later, there is no need to post in the forums asking where the character are, and why they haven't appeared. Have some patience, and go enjoy Liberty City!

That Special Someone :
You completed the mission "That Special Someone"

Complete the story mission "That Special Someone".

Liberty City Minute :
You finished the story in less than 30 hours.

The story mode must be beaten in under 30 hours. Keep any activity that is not directly story related to a bare minimum. You can keep a track of your progress via the Start menu by pausing the game and selecting : Stats --> General, and then looking at your Playing Time as well as your complete percentage, which will amount to 60% upon completion of the last story mission if no other activities have been completed. Again, as with "You Won!", this will only unlock after the end credits.

Tips to save time :

*Skip all cutscenes. You will miss out on a great deal of storyline here, but it is a sacrifice you will need to forego to come in comfortably under the time limit.

*Use the taxi journey skip at every opportunity. This is a great way to get from the end of one mission to the start of another, saving a huge amount of time. To do this, approach a taxi and climb in as a passenger by holding down triangle. Scroll through the destinations on the taxi's fare meter and select the next mission marker. Then press Xto skip the journey. You will arrive at your destination for a handful of dollars suffering only the time it took to load.

*The game is by default on Autosave. If you find that you are making a pigs ear of a mission, simply reload your last save and you will begin again from the end of your last mission.

The time limit is quite generous. Using the above methods, you should come in somewhere between 15 - 20 hours. This is an average and this can naturally fluctuate based on your skills behind the wheel and with a gun. As stated in the roadmap, you are averaging 20 mins per mission including travelling time to the marker which initiates it. Use the earlier short missions to build up a cushion to fall back on should some of the later missions present any difficulties.

Key To The City :
You completed GTA IV to 100%
